These elements have informed Shayne’s overall point of view, which he brings to this new collaboration with Longchamp. The co-founder of New York-based cult menswear label, HOOD BY AIR. joined forces with the luxury French leather goods and fashion house Longchamp to develop an inventive capsule collection of travel accessories and ready-to-wear that merges the distinct creative spirit of both collaborators. Taking the concept of travel gear into a new era, the capsule collection merges Longchamp’s history of craftsmanship and French timeless style with Shayne’s innovative and provocative aesthetic, resulting in a dynamic offering for both men and women. This unexpected collection includes leather goods, footwear, ready-to-wear and garment bags, as well as a new iteration of Longchamp’s iconic Le Pliage®, reimagined by Shayne.
Throughout the collection, proportions are challenged and silhouettes are altered, disrupting the preconceptions of modern day travel. Travel takes on a new art form, underscored by unwavering freedom and temporal mobility. “While this is not the first collaboration for Longchamp or Shayne Oliver, it was a particularly energizing experience to work with Shayne in order to offer an unexpected collection to our customers,” said Longchamp Artistic Director, Sophie Delafontaine. “Designing Longchamp products through Shayne’s lens was an exciting challenge that allowed us to create something truly original.”
